Grammóphōno

Limnos


The traffic circle may not be the most appealing of surrounds, but this place is special thanks to its creative take on traditional taverna fare. It prides itself on various types of smoked meats, but there is more unusual stuff, such as caramelised octopus or loukaniko (pork sausage) with prunes.
